OUR hometown.
South Bay Fence Inc. is a family own fence company established in 1960 by Ray Johnston. Ray Johnston was more than a fence builder. In 1951 he built a machine in his garage that would weave wire into chain link fabric. He built eleven of these machines which were sold to steel factories and later patented.
South Bay Fence is run by Ray’s two sons, Larry and Darrel Johnston. It continues to operate out of the same location it was founded and both brothers are hands on the daily operations. What started out as a small residential fence company has grown into one of South Bay’s finest and most versatile fence companies. Larry Johnston led the way to growing the company in the commercial installation direction by successfully bidding and working with local school districts and municipalities. Darrel was in the field completing the jobs that proved to be challenging and no one else would tackle. If Larry could design it, Darrel built it!
After 30 years of grooming, Lea Johnston-Cruz and Rafael Perez are breaking down barriers with custom marque signs and high security automation. It is the attention to detail with visionary execution that is key to South Bay Fence’s success. It is Rafa’s vision that leads the way for the next generation of fencing professionals.
South Bay Fence has built a team that cannot be beat! It is our employee retention that has strengthen our highly trained work force. We also pride ourselves in having three (3) graduates from the AGC apprentice program. In keeping up with the times safety is not just a tag line but daily pledge.
The motto “no job too tough” still rings true today. South Bay Fence prides itself in offering honest pricing and exceptional final product satisfaction!
